I totally believe these stories about nasty men coming onto you in the hospital, but it's shocking to hear some of the situations in which it happens.
Seriously, at this point I am amazed, some people have no shame.

I'll leave it out when the male patients stop "leaving it out":D.
And, nothing wrong with the word "member". I think the fact that most people here haven't used some of the other less polite words is very professional.

1) Did the thought cross your mind that maybe they would prefer
a male nurse considering your attitude!
2) It's not professional when people on this site use threatening tones
of what they would like to do to patients whether its intentional or
not!

I had a 63 yo male tell his nurse that he knew that I wanted to do an EKG on him just b/c all I wanted to do was see his body!!! Yeah right!!
I was putting in a cath on a post op patient that could not void. I got the catheter in and the guy says, "Ahhhh, you have majic hands"

When I was in nursing school I worked as a tech/aide. I knew my patient was a jerk because she said to me --"you are not even a nurse, your just an aide! I'm a doctor know your place next time!" --All because I told her to refrain from changing the settings on the IV pump!
Now I'm a nurse I wonder if she will listen to me :argue:!!!

They trip you with their O2 tubing, roll their eyes, and then tell you that you don't know how to do their job. Oh, this is after you went to get more ice because their water wasn't cold enough.

Dear miss allison
You are very welcome to come back and vent your feelings after a member has been waved at you.
Sorry; it is a professional word, and sometimes we even have to write it in the notes!!
Ohh the shame of it alll......heheheh

and i'd be willing to place a bet that it's not the actual word the actual patient may have used.
